    BYO pasta with blackened chicken and garlic cream
    Deedrah B.

    Enjoyed dinner here the other night for the first time and would definitely return! Lots of classic options - pasta, sandwiches, salads and a full bar. It's in a residential area, basically a repurposed house, so when I arrived, I drove past it by accident! The inside itself is pretty casual and unassuming/no frills. Not too busy on a Thursday around 7pm so we got a two top immediately. Our waitress was friendly and attentive as we ordered our drinks and then split the chicken quesadilla. For entrees, we tried the feta pasta and a BYO with blackened chicken and cream sauce. Everything was tasty and portions were huge. Had plenty for a late night snack/lunch the next day! Glad this is one of the first new places I've tried down in CLT!

    Spicy Crab Soup

    I love this place so much. I always feel like I'm walking into a friend's home. It's cozy, welcoming, and relaxed. The service is warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the food is delicious and comforting. Tonight we reached order the spicy crab soup because it's too good to share and then we split the honey chicken pasta which the kitchen was nice enough to split it for us. The Christmas decor is a really nice festive touch that makes it feel extra cozy. Highly recommend!

    Vegan burrito.  Comes with lettuce, tomato and salsa on the side and a few chips.  The chips were housemade and amazing.

    Looking for a place to eat late Friday afternoon uptown. Came here strictly because of the reviews. Our experience was in line with the majority of reviews. I had vegan burrito and it was AMAZING! I don't eat a lot of meat so when I'm out eating with hubby I'm used to not being impressed with selections I want to eat. There's actually a few selections on the menu that made it hard for me to decide. Now I have a reason to come. What I liked about the burrito is that it was sooo flavorful. It was also a huge portion size. I didn't even get a side and I still couldn't eat it all. We started with potato wedge appetizers. They were yummy and not your average 'potato wedges'. There were probably at least 6. My husband had pasta which we both thought was delicious. I think my next try will be the veggie burger which I server told me was made in house. Can't wait!

    Located out of the way in a residential neighborhood, but worth going to. Expert bartender and friendly efficient waitress. Everything we ordered - wings, burger, salads - were fresh. Will be going back

    I've known about Alexander Michael's for about 30 years. It has always been a great place to go for lunch or to spot up for a drink. It's such a cozy neighborhood pub that is always busy but never over the top. The food is absolutely fantastic! If you've never been definitely get the What It Is. This is their Cajun Chicken Pasta and their signature cornerstone dish. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. The pasta had just enough kick not to be obnoxious. Just the same as when I first tasted it. The service is always friendly and timely. Allison took great care of me at the bar even during a busy night. I'm so glad this place is still around to provide great food and great memories!

    Honey glazed chicken pasta
    Kristen C.

    Another amazing experience at Alexander Michaels. We ordered the hummus to start. It was tasty and delicious. Definitely order it with the veggies and pita we tried the honey glazed chicken pasta dish and burrito. Both portions were excellent and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Our server was very attentive and we were sat down quickly. Drinks were refilled often as well. The ambience is lovely, your neighborhood pub we cannot wait to come back again.

    I don't t give 5 stars often because to me that is a "no improvement needed " but this place is a 5 star. Love the atmosphere, service, food and prices. This is a must go to in Charlotte!!

    What It Is
    Abby L.

    Review update. I had the best experience here a few weeks ago. The bartender was incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent!! I sat at the bar. The whole restaurant is such a cozy and inviting space. The neighborhood and the charming building it's located in add so much character to the overall experience. For my meal, I ordered the build your own pasta with fettuccine, garlic cream sauce, and blackened shrimp, and it completely exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the shrimp were seasoned just right. One note: it can get a bit chilly at the bar in the winter with the door opening, but it's a minor issue given how wonderful everything else is. I'm already looking forward to coming back soon! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and a warm, cozy atmosphere. And decent prices for what you get!

    Outstanding menu items in a classy pub in Charlotte. We came for a late lunch and were not disappointed one bit. The wait staff were professional and polite and the kitchen did a bang-up job on our dishes (pictured). We will definitely return here soon.

    A true hole in the wall! We came across this tavern while walking through the Fourth Ward Secret Garden Tour. It was a nice stop after walking through the neighborhood. It's tucked away on a corner, I would say street parking only, though you could Uber and it's pretty central within Fourth Ward. We ordered drinks and an app - the DC Potato Wedges - which really hit the spot. Prices were reasonable and the building itself is pretty cool, dating back into the 1800s. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Definitely enjoyed the experience and would love to return to check out more of the menu!

    London Broil Sandwich
    Derek M.

    This place has been an Uptown staple for over 40 years and it's easy to see why. No fancy tables or drinks, just good food, beer and great staff! I went in before the football games yesterday and even at 3pm on a Saturday there was a good crowd! Testament to how good they are. The vibe is casual and super relaxed so no need to dress up I got the London Broil sandwich medium rare. It was huge! Packed with perfectly tender steak with cheese and peppers. I was blown away. I could barely finish it. If you find yourself in Uptown, get there. It's one of the few local restaurants that have been around for over 40 years, it deserves our business!

    Spicy Crab Soup, side garden salad, grey goose martini
    Rachel G.

    Always a great "come as you are" spot- great crab soup, fresh green salads and toppings, and comfort foods like stroganoff and meatloaf. The menu is condensed compared with other restaurants that boast novel-length offerings. Friendly, easy bartenders and waitstaff add to the ambience, whether seated at the bar or a table. Cozy, warm, and intimate setting for dining and drinks in the heart of 4th Ward.

    Jessica C.

    Another classic, love coming here. We always manage to sit at the same table. The waitresses are always nice and attentive here, the ambiance is always giving date night with a little hint of bar. The food is always great! My husband switched it up this time and had the stroganoff! Yum!

    Where is the best place to park if visiting Alexander Michaels? Do they have enough parking there or are you parking on the street?

    There is street parking and a small light just behind.

    Could the restaurant accommodate one child (1 year old) and four adults?

    Yes, they'd definitely be able to accommodate a group of 4 with a small child. Most of the tables (a combo of booths and free standing tables) seat 2-4 adults, but I have seen larger groups there and kids. It's just a bit crowded. Bringing in a… Read more

Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.

Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had.
